ASTRO-FINANCE FOR JUNE 2023
Rev. edition.
By Barry Rosen
GENERAL ECONOMIC INSIGHTS:
At publication, we have a repeat of the Dot.com bubble as NVDA, a producer of
semi-conductors, had a moon shot and moved into 1 trillion market valuation as
the AI craze grips investors. Rahu governs technology and the Jupiter/Rahu
conjunct is pushing Nasdaq 100 and select technology stock up but the broader
market is only starting to participate because of the deficit resolution and a
positive employment reality.
The reality of a few stocks like META and NVDA propping up the market and
giving us a false illusion will not last forever. We should have another week to go
into June 9-12 th before the reality hits. There may be some last buys for a week
like MGK (Mega Cap ETF) and QQQ and XLK (Technology ETF but cannot get
too many others to move. It is too late for an investment buy until we see the
July pullback. Tesla has been participating but is not likely to take out 224.
We seasonally find the market lower from mid-June to mid-July. The Saturn
sextile to Jupiter on June 19 th will be a final l punctuation point if the market gets
through the June 14 th FOMC meeting where they are likely to raise rates another
25 BPS. The Mars exact debilitation peaks on June 27 th and no one has a lot of
energy to buy stocks as we complete that two-year cycle.
Saturn goes stationary direct on June 17 th and usually a week before and after
there is great anxiety. That will not help also and Saturn’s stationary aspect to
Jupiter will reduce expansion energy.
The week of June 5-12 th for a final stock market surge to S & P cash 4333 or
4367 and NQ 100 will lead the way. Still, the market tends to peak a week
before the FOMC announcement and that would be by June 7 th with the meeting
on June 14 th .
The stock market usually does not like the Mars/Saturn opposition which is
between Leo and Aquarius into July 20 th as Mercury goes retrograde into July
22 nd in Leo. The week of June 17-21 st could be some cycle low for a correction
from the June high. With Jupiter's proximity to Uranus peaking with the Jupiter
station into Sept 4 th , there will be some kind of secondary recovery for stocks into
that window and new highs on the year may be possible depending on what kind
of fall we have into late July. At the moment we thought the deepest the stock
market would fall would be to 3600 on the S & P cash and 12900 on NQ 100
futures. We are not clear on what kind of news will grip the market although
there are always a host of crazy issues over-hanging the market and the world.
The lag time has been there in the past for stocks crash as the first reaction is
that the FOMC will ease rates and the market is always buying 6 months ahead
but the reality of recessionary action will hit and earnings will be down. We have
been looking for a difficult time for US stocks in September/October/November.
But first, we could still get a last rally into early June and Sun in Taurus and
moving toward the Saturn sextile onto Jupiter which often is signature for a stock
market high. Mid-June into mid-July looks like a stock market correction and it
could be deep and maybe at least 10-15% but if it is not dire, the stock market
will come back as Jupiter moves toward Uranus in Aries and is stationary into
Sept. 4 th and gets within 7 degrees of Uranus which is at 28 Aries. We have to
see how ugly the fall in June/July is. Jupiter/Uranus conjunctions are usually
very good for the stock market. This is also coinciding with the 12-year cycle of
Jupiter in Aries when in Sept. 2011, stocks made a high and then fall into May of
2012.
The problem for the fall is Jupiter will be opposing the debilitated Sun and Mars
in Libra with Mercury in the fall of 2023 and that is similar to the oppositions we
had between the bearish signs of Aries and Libra, two air signs, which caused
more rapid stock market declines. In Oct. 1987, we had something very similar
and hence there is more crash energy in the fall of this year.
CORRUPTION: IS THERE AN END IN SIGHT? The annual chart for the world is
not that terrible this year so we are not into doom and gloom this year.
There is hope for corruption getting rooted out as we move into 2025. Neptune
will finally get out of Puravabhadra Nakshatra (Aquarius 20-Pisces 3.20) which is
a dark nakshatra of secret societies and corruption. Saturn will also move into
that constellation in Jan. 2025 and it tends to want to bring reality and root out
corruption. But we still have to get through the difficult year of 2024 and the US
Pluto Return and the Solar Eclipse on April 8, 2024 crossing the US during the
day.
We had mentioned that the banking crisis would not go away. We are at the
Jupiter/Rahu conjunction, which is a signature for bankruptcy, and it happens in
the True Node system on June 2nd, and a bit earlier in the Mean Node system.
We saw a banking crisis in 2007-8 when Jupiter and Rahu were conjunct in
Capricorn. Its impact will be felt within 3 degrees by mid-May. Have we learned
our lessons? Stock market cycles seem lower from mid-June to mid-July and
thinking that the budget crisis and the banking crisis will not get well as the debt
ceiling comes to a head.
The problem for the fall is Jupiter will be opposing the debilitated Sun and Mars
in Libra with Mercury in the fall of 2023 and that is similar to the oppositions we
had between the bearish signs of Aries and Libra, two air signs, which caused
more rapid stock market declines. In Oct. 1987, we had something very similar
and hence there is more crash energy in the fall of this year.
GOLD
Gold has been retracing over the last month and is due for a cycle low into by
June 13 th We are looking for a recovery into the Saturn/Jupiter sextile but usually
gold is lower into late June and it may be in trouble into the Mars/Saturn
opposition into July 20 th . If the banking crisis manifests, gold could spike up in
June but if not it may only do a secondary high and then come down some more.
Larger cycle highs for gold are due in Sept. as it is gold like the Sun in Leo and
Jupiter will be trining it and we have another cycle high in early November with
Venus trining Pluto into Nov. 6 th as I find Venus/Pluto aspects are often
connected to gold highs. We still like gold as a good investment this year and so
watch pullbacks into June 13 th .
We have a gold cycle higher into 2024 for now. Gold could accelerate in a crisis
to 2245 and then 2450 into the year 2024. Stay on top of our daily forecasts with
Fortucast.com newsletters.
We have a gold cycle higher into the year 2024 for now. While the bankers have
manipulated gold for 12 years and lost lawsuits proving that they did, they are
running out of money to play this game and many gold cycles look strong in the
year 2028. We doubt that gold will go below 1930.
CRYPTOS: Bitcoin has been falling for a month and put in a reversal signal into
April 20 th just around the Jupiter opposition to natal Mercury at 29 Virgo in the
Bitcoin chart. We think it will be vulnerable still as SEC tries to regulate cryptos
out of existence as indicated by the SEC filings against COIN and continues fall
of major players. I do not trust cryptos because they are not regulated and we
have seen so much abuse with the last scandal with Bankman-Fried and the FTX
scandal which gets uglier and uglier when you look at the details. Ketu and
Mercury have a lot to do with Cryptos and Saturn's trine to Ketu was not helpful.
We see cryptos coming back into the week of Saturn sextile Jupiter but will
Bitcoin get above 30000 and make it to 35000? So far this still looks like a bear
market bounce.
Remember to work with your broker. Trading and investing have to be done both
technically and astrology can help but should not be the only factor in making a
decision. You have to buy low and sell high.
